CALGARY, AB, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, today released its financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 ended July 31, 2025, the highlights of which are included in this news release. The full set of unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 (the "Financial Statements") and accompanying management's discussion and analysis can be accessed by visiting the Company's website at www.hightideinc.com, its profile pages on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

"I'm thrilled to share that this has been our most powerful quarter to date across nearly every financial metric, including record revenue and adjusted EBITDA, along with positive free cash flow and net income. Importantly, we also delivered our strongest same store sales growth in two years, which helped propel an 18% year-over-year increase in our core bricks-and-mortar business. These results once again prove that our loyalty-focused innovative discount club model continues to resonate strongly with our customers," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

"The cherry on top of these results is the recent closing of our acquisition of a majority stake in Remexian, which positions us as a major player in Germany's medical cannabis market, based on market share. With this game-changing acquisition, High Tide is now not only a leader in Canada, but also a leader in Europe's largest cannabis market. By further diversifying our revenue streams with Remexian's strong financials, we have enhanced our capacity to continue powering Canadian growth through free cash flow generation, strengthening our ability to deliver value to shareholders and setting ourselves up to exceed 300 Cabanas in Canada."

"Top Canadian cannabis brands have already started to come onboard exclusively with High Tide, which will further fuel our momentum. With Remexian's financial strength and operational leadership now part of the High Tide family, I've never been more confident in our ability to accelerate growth both at home and abroad," added Mr. Grover

OUTLOOK

High Tide's wholly owned subsidiary, Canna Cabana, is the largest cannabis retail brand in Canada with 207 current operating locations. Following the opening of 16 new stores this calendar year, the Company is on track to reach the upper end of its previously stated target of 20–30 new locations in calendar 2025, while advancing toward its long-term goal of surpassing 300 locations nationwide.

The Company's Cabana Club and ELITE loyalty programs, which remain the largest such cannabis loyalty programs in the world, continue to expand at a rapid pace across Canada. Cabana Club membership has now surpassed 2.15 million members in Canada, which is up 39% in the past year. Over the long term the Company anticipates exceeding 2.5 million Cabana Club members in Canada. Globally, the Company has now surpassed 6.15 million Cabana Club members. ELITE, the paid membership tier, continues to break quarterly and annual growth records and now exceeds 115,000 members in Canada and 123,600 worldwide, with additional members being onboarded daily. ELITE members tend to shop more frequently and in larger quantities than base tier members. 

Following the successful launch of its innovative discount club model in its core bricks-and-mortar business, in late 2024, the Company expanded Cabana Club across all its global e-commerce businesses, offering disruptive three-tier pricing. While its e-commerce division is currently tracking behind its initial financial forecasts, the Company notes it represents only 3% of consolidated revenue. While the Company has historically focused its e-commerce strategy around consumption accessories and hemp-derived products, it has recently entered the hemp-derived cannabinoids marketplace in the United States, to strengthen and expand its online ecosystem. Management remains focused on executing its original 12-month plan to improve e-commerce performance and is optimistic about a potential turnaround. At the same time, contingency options are under active consideration, including potential partnerships, divestitures, or maintaining pared-down e-commerce platforms primarily as strategic assets in anticipation of further U.S. federal reforms.

The Company has always managed its affairs with a focus on prudent free cash flow generation, having produced more than $38 million over the past two years. With the transformational Remexian acquisition, the Company will need to assess its ongoing cash needs, as Remexian's anticipated growth will require additional working capital to support further expansion. The Company will assess its impact on consolidated results in due course. 

The Company continues to expand its white label cannabis product portfolio between its flagship Queen of Bud and Cabana Cannabis Co. brands, with 25 cannabis SKUs now available across the Canna Cabana store network. The Company continues to work on exciting new white label product offerings that are expected to launch in the coming months.

Regarding its balance sheet, the Company continues to have no meaningful debt maturities for the next two years, has significantly more cash on hand than in the past, and continues to generate meaningful free cash flow from its core bricks-and-mortar operations. As a result, the Company believes it can continue to fund future store growth internally.
